Abstract

In this study, mechanical bidomain model is used to study the mechanical behavior of kidney tissues. This model has been used widely to study cardiac tissue and cell colony. On recognizing same structural and somehow same physiological relationship between cardiac tissue and kidney tissue, the displacements in different regions of kidney and the integrins, i. e., nephron coupling the intracellular medulla and extracellular cortex is analyzed. The mechanical Bidomain model provides a microscopic description of kidney tissue mechanics and also predicts the microscopic coupling of extracellular cells region of kidney tissue, i.e., cortex and the intracellular cells region medulla of kidney.
